THE NEXT DAY…..

KIMIKO'S POV

The bell rang once again, signaling for our next class.

"Oh great..." I thought gloomily, " Chinese class."

I lifted my bag onto my shoulders and dragged my feet unwillingly across the hallway floor as Keiko looked over her shoulder at me and gave me an uneasy look.

"Are you SURE you're going to be ok Kim?" Keiko asked anxiously for about the hundredth time.

"It's okay Keiko, I'll be fine..." I sighed, obviously quite irritated.

"Okok, just making sure. so I'll see you later kim!" asked Keiko as she gave me a quick reassuring hug which I clumsily returned and watched her speed off to her own classroom. Then, I took a shaky breath and entered my classroom.

RAIMUNDO'S POV

I didn't exactly look forward to Chinese class. Mostly because I knew that kimiko would probably hate me and never talk to me again for my entire existence.

I sighed as I entered the classroom. With effort, I slowly glanced up but to my relief and surprise, kimiko wasn't here yet. I sat down in my seat and waited…..

Kimiko's POV

I tried my best not to look at him as I walked over to a seat far away from him and sat down. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him made a motion to come over to me as he stood up and came towards me hurriedly, heaving his bag along with him. He dumped his bag down, pulled up the chair next to me and sat down. I shifted my chair away from him. He shifted nearer to me. I shifted away. He shifted nearer. Finally, I turned to him, obviously annoyed.

"WHAT," I spat.

"Kimiko…I am so sorry about yesterday!" he apologized sincerely.

"How did you think I felt when I was waiting in the library for you for 35 FREAKING MINUTES?!" I cried as I slammed my hand onto the desk. Raimundo winced and spoke again.

" I know, Kim, I was wrong, I should have came, I'm so so SO sorry kimiko, will you forgive me?" Raimundo apologized once more.

I felt anger boiling in my veins. It wasn't the fact that he never showed up in the library that got me so angry. It was the fact that he was off flirting with Denise and her friends which made my blood boil. I was about to say something when Raimundo took my hand and held it in his.

"Please, forgive me kimiko, I'm sorry," he pleaded.

His hand felt nice and warm. I met his gaze and his gorgeous malachite eyes bore into mine. My anger faded and was replaced by a slight blush which slowly crept to my cheeks.

"Um...I…" I stammered. Then I slowly managed a small smile.

"I...forgive you."

"Really?" Raimundo asked, surprised, and obviously delighted. I nodded.

"Thank you so much Kimiko, I promise that won't happen ever again!" Rai cried, overjoyed, as he gave me a huge hug. Shocked and surprised, I awkwardly hugged him back. He held me for a few seconds then released me, beaming happily.

"So...Do you wanna do our project this lunchtime? I won't be late again, I swear," said Raimundo.

"Sure. Library, 12:50?" I asked.

"Ok. Cool," replied Raimundo, giving me a million dollar smile. My heart fluttered and I smiled back.

Just then the teacher rushed into the classroom panting heavily.

"Sorry I'm late class, I had a few errands to run. Now, start working on page 15 of your workbooks…."
